Red Coris Wrasse (Adult)Coris gaimardCoris gaimard or the Red Coris Wrasse appears very closely in coloration to the Formosa Wrasse as a juvenile but has little to no pronounced black markings on it's anal and dorsal fins. As an adult it has a very different but still spectacular transformation that is well appreciated in any fish only system. This specimen is very hardy and is not usually aggressive toward other fishes though it is reported they may sometimes harass fish that are very much smaller. Provide fine substrate of 3-4 inches for them to burrow in as this is where they sleep.
